"This is the second Via Ferrata guide book i have used written by Rushforth. As usual the photos are particular inspiring and the route descriptions are excellent. It is nice to see that some of the routes from the older rocfax guide book have made it into this copy. A brilliant guidebook for anyone looking to experience the best via ferrata that Italy has to offer as well as being a stunning visual collection of the fantastic scenery of the Dolomites. Finally the guide fits handily in a bag/jacket pocket making it a perfect field guide” - Amazon Customer (read the review)
